Code Inkjet Printer

For applications that require easily readable variable data codes on dark or difficult to mark materials, Videojet has designed the Videojet 1710 small character continuous inkjet printer. The printer uses high-contrast, pigmented inks to create bright, clean codes on surfaces for which dye-based inks are not effective, such as colored glass, rubber tubing, plastic cabling and dark paperboard. It is capable of printing a variety of fonts in multiple languages, as well as linear bar codes, 2D DataMatrix codes, custom logos and graphics.

Uptime Advantage:

• CleanFlowTM technology resists ink build-up that can cause ordinary inkjet printers to shut down
• New conical ink reservoir minimizes natural effects of pigment settling
• Long run time between preventive maintenance; up to 4,000-hour core life
• Auto cleaning printhead for fast start-ups even after extended shutdowns

 

Built-in productivity:

• Dynamic calibration adjusts jetting parameters automatically
  to ensure high-quality print
• The unique fluid system assures proper dispersion of pigments
  while printing, or when idle for long periods of time
• Print from 1 to 5 lines of text at high speeds

 

Unique fluid capabilities:

• High-contrast, pigmented inks create bright, clean codes on dark
  or difficult surfaces
• Innovative fluid management system simply and reliably delivers
  ink to the products you need to be coded without significant operator
  intervention
• Smart CartridgeTM fluid delivery system to virtually eliminate spills and help ensure the correct fluids are being used

 

Simple usability:

• Bright display with WYSIWYG and function keys for easy operation
• User levels to separate operation from installation and
  maintenance
• Prompted user fields to help reduce coding errors

 

Special core engineered for pigmented inks:

• Intelligent clustering of pigmented filters and components with similar life spans for reliability and easy maintenance
• New conical ink reservoir minimizes natural effects of pigment settling
• Core eliminates messy filter and pump replacement

 

Printhead extends intervals between cleanings:

• High-efficiency nozzle reduces printhead cleaning through precisely formed and directed ink drops
• Manifold circulates fluids to enable clean starts/stops
• Specially filtered air from perforated front face directs ink and dust away from printhead to reduce build up
• Smooth deck for easy cleaning of pigmented ink
